The Lawrence County Board of Education is scheduled to convene for a work session on Thursday, January 15, at 4:30 p.m. The meeting will commence with the pledge of allegiance and a roll call of members. Following these formalities, the agenda will cover a variety of important topics. Among the items for discussion is a report stemming from the MGT Growth Study, which aims to provide insights into the district’s development.
Additionally, the board will seek input for a public service announcement, emphasizing community engagement. Another significant point of discussion will be the role of fine arts within the Lawrence County School System, highlighting the importance of arts education in the curriculum. Furthermore, the board will review the existing cell phone policy, known as Policy 6.312, and will also consider a report from the Tennessee School Boards Association Conference regarding a similar policy in Warren County.
In addition to these discussions, board members will receive a crucial update concerning the sale of the Southern Tennessee Higher Education Center to Columbia State Community College. This transaction is expected to facilitate funding for a multipurpose facility at Lawrence County High School, as well as the construction of a new gymnasium at Summertown High School. This work session promises to address key issues that will impact the educational landscape in Lawrence County.
